Computers used for the control of the production process improve the productivity and increase the quality of the product. The computer can be applied to the following different production areas:

Generally stated the computer supports the production processes and improves these via high performance hardware, algorithms, logic and the processing of information. During the last years hardware and software performance has been increasing steadily. This trend has helped to promote the computer as a tool for design, planning, manufacturing and quality assurance.
